The three media outlet are in a deep slumber in a changing world. Fighting the watchdog is synonymous with biting the hands that feeds you. I think, the starting point for the three; buy a licensed Broadcast Signal Distributor then compete. Otherwise moving in circles will come to an end.

Really, what is wrong with KTN NTV and Citizen? Who would be interested in their setbox that just shows their channels? Ama ni mimi sielewi? Change is inevitable, you either go with the flow or be left wallowing

So the three media houses conspired and refused to air communication authority ADs now CA says the set top boxes to be imported by the three are not approved this migration thing is now getting nasty

In addition to that...

CAK withdraws frequencies of the big three
But that article is also misleading in that it says Kenyans risk missing TV news and popular shows by the four stations. They are still at liberty to air their content.

So, CAK withdraws frequency just because of a mere advert???

I tell you, haya mambo yana tatanisha
Quote:

“The Authority is gravely concerned by the content of the said advertisement,” said Francis Wangusi, Director General Communication Authority of Kenya.

“The advertisement by the three media houses is misleading to the public, is offensive to the market. It is equally in gross violation of the legal and regulatory framework governing the sector,” he said.

The unholy trinity (NMG, RMS & SG) are planning to import one million set top boxes into the market.

Its just commercial interest that has nothing to do with media freedom.

Since when did TV station start dictating which TV receiver a viewer should buy?

They should be closed for a month wapate adabu.

Where were they when the others were bring in their set boxes? Now they are telling us they will SOON be launching their own set boxes.

I see k24 being the biggest beneficiary of this squabbles.

But I would want to have at least one local digital licensed company. Hawa wachina are not our best solution.

What you call a mere advert is actually misinformation and is totally misleading and anti-competitive as it affects the market in general. The impact felt can be quite huge, especially for those people who don't understand what Must-Carry-Principle is all about. When you play dirty, you can be warned, given a yellow or a red card.
